HAVANA, Cuba, October 14 (José
Antonio Fornaris, Cuba Verdad / www.cubanet.org)
- Alfredo Verdecia, a nurse at the Oncological
Hospital, says he has been fired after 10
years of service for participating in a
peaceful demonstration with other dissidents.
Verdecia said he had joined a vigil October
6 asking for the release of political prisoners.
Two days later, he said he was called into
a meeting at the hospital in which he found
hospital authorities and an officer for
the Department of State Security. At the
meeting he was notified he no longer worked
there, he said.
Verdecia had been working in the intensive
care ward of the hospital.
